Description[?]:
| In my former bill we the PSP announced that we will propose a education reform. So I present to the honourable members of parliament our new education reform. We should make sure that our childern get the best education they can, if only private schools exist without any regulation this may not be realised. Therefore, we introduce a new public system of schools that can coexist with some other government approved private schools. We can make sure that our childern are getting the most tolerant form of education they can get. We have absolutely no control what so ever if only private schools exist. Jaap Colenbrander, Ministry of Education and Culture |

| Message | We have serious reservations when it comes to the ban on homeschooling and forcing private schools to conform to government dictates. Private schooling should offer something that state schooling cannot, and private schoolteachers should have free reign to teach the way they see fit. That's how we keep creativity alive and allow for experimentation that brings out innovative teaching styles. Nonetheless, for the sake of ensuring that all children receive an education regardless of their ability to pay, we will vote in favour of this flawed but necessary measure.

| Message | We understand the concerns of the PNT, private schools will still have the room to teach childern other ideas. But we have to make sure that schools don't teach the wrong things to our childern. We appreciate the support of the PNT. Jaap Colenbrander Ministery of Education and Culture |
